License plate violators beware this new law will make it easier for officers to ticket. – blog submitted by TicketBust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets. Gone are the days where paper plates could be left on indefinitely to keep that new car vibe going. Gov. Brown just signed bill AB-516 into law which will require California car dealers to assign temporary license plates to newly purchased vehicles. Expiration dates will make it so police can tell if you’ve driven around without plates for too long. And unique report-of-sale numbers will prevent toll evaders or red light violators from slipping through the cracks where there is camera enforcement. This new legislation will go into effect January 1, 2019. – blog submitted by TicketBust.com, helping drivers fight their traffic tickets.

Is motorcycle lane splitting legal and is it safe? – blog submitted by TicketBust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets. Lane splitting is the practice of a motorcycle driving between two rows of stopped or moving cars in the same lane. No law in California specifically authorizes lane splitting and none prohibits it. According to research done by UC Berkeley in 2015, it can be done safely if the motorcycle is driven at a speed of no more than 50 mph and not more than 15 mph faster than surrounding traffic. Although there are currently no official safety guidelines in place, a new bill seeks to authorize the California Highway Patrol to develop these. – blog submitted by TicketBust.com, helping drivers fight their traffic tickets.
